Wow, this is the quietest I've seen this forum after a win

I agree. This puts me in mind of the Aaron Brooks years (stay with me!) If I looked at the stats and not the score after a game and saw Aaron threw for a million yards I knew we lost. Different reasons but the same principal. We stuck to the run as much as possible v Detroit. Yes, at a point we went stagnant scoring wise late in the game by sticking to the run, but we burned clock and passed then when we needed to. Great job coaching IMO.

We got stagnant when Ram left the game. Hats off to Payton for sticking to it anyway.
